THERE were plenty of goals at Newport Stadium but, despite taking a two-goal lead, County had to settle for a share of the spoils.

This match, the first of three within a week, started to go County's way in the early stages when midfielder Lee Jenkins fired home from the edge of the area.

It was a confidence-boosting strike for County who doubled their lead eight minutes later when Craig Hughes lobbed home County's second.

But Weston - who included former County favourites Scott Walker and Matt Rose - were not going to lie down and, after Marvin Brown went close, the Somerset visitors reduced the arrears eight minutes before the interval when a rebound from a Walker effort was headed home by Lewis Hogg.

Weston levelled seven minutes into the second half when full-back Walker's testing cross was met superbly by Matt Rawlins on the edge of the six-yard box.

Either side could have won the game in the final quarter and for Newport Hughes saw his header come back off the Weston crossbar before another effort was cleared off the line by Jon French.
